Fleet Replacement Planner

Overview


The best time to plan replacements is before downtime becomes expensive. This fleet replacement planner helps you log the minimum information needed to identify which vehicles should be prioritised and when.

What the tool helps you do

  • Track vehicle lifecycle risk consistently
  • Reduce unexpected downtime
  • Plan replacements across budget cycles
  • Improve quote accuracy with a clear brief

What to track (inside the tool)

  • Mileage / usage
  • Service dates + costs
  • Breakdown incidents (notes)
  • Downtime days
  • Priority rating (simple scoring)

How to Use the JAC Fleet Replacement Planner

Step 1 – Capture Your Fleet
Add one vehicle per row:

  • Vehicle ID / registration
  • Make & model
  • Year first in service
  • Current km, average monthly km
  • Maintenance spend and downtime in the last 12 months

Step 2 – Set Your Thresholds
At the top of the sheet, adjust:

  • Age thresholds (when a vehicle feels “old” for your operation)
  • Maintenance spend thresholds
  • Downtime thresholds (days off the road in 12 months)

The planner uses these to score each vehicle.

Step 3 – Read the Flags
The tool automatically calculates:

  • Age / Maintenance / Downtime scores
  • An Overall Replacement Score
  • A Replacement Flag:
    • Green – keep running
    • Amber – plan replacement
    • Red – high priority for replacement

It also suggests a target replacement year and lets you note a candidate JAC replacement (T6, T8, T9, X200 or N-Series).

Step 4 – Plan With Our Fleet Specialist
Use the results in a planning session with our Fleet Specialist to:

  • Prioritise which vehicles to replace first
  • Choose the right JAC replacements for each role
  • Combine this with our TCO Calculator for a full cost picture
